Look, I get why people want a shorter season - less travel, fresher players, maybe more intense games. That sounds nice on paper. But here's the thing: the NBA's carbon footprint is already massive, and shortening the season wouldn't fix that. We're talking about teams flying private jets cross-country multiple times a week - that's not going away with fewer games. What we need is smarter scheduling, not fewer games. Fewer games means less revenue, which means less investment in green initiatives. Some teams are already using renewable energy in arenas and cutting waste. A shorter season could actually slow that progress. Plus, more games spread out means more local economies benefit. If we really care about sustainability, let's push for sustainable travel and energy, not just cut games.
